Soak the gelatin: In a container, place the powdered gelatin and hot water. Mix well until the gelatin dissolves completely.
Mix the ingredients: In a blender, beat the condensed milk, cream and hydrated gelatin until you get a smooth cream.
Assemble the dessert: In a baking dish, alternate layers of pineapple chunks and cream. Finish with a layer of cream.
Refrigerate: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve: Remove from the refrigerator, sprinkle with shredded coconut and serve immediately.
Tips:
Pineapple: You can use fresh, chopped pineapple or pineapple in syrup. If using fresh pineapple, remove the core and cut into cubes.
Gelatin: The gelatin will give the dessert a firmer consistency. If you prefer, you can use sheet gelatin, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
